A TALE OF TWO FRIENDS
SHANNON PERSINGER (right pictured) NEEDED A BUCK SO HE AND HIS FRIEND, SHAWN DOWNEY (upper picture), CAME TO LOOK. WE WANTED $1500.00 FOR A LITTLE BUCK CALLED “THE DARK HEADED DESPARADO”. NOW THAT WAS MORE MONEY THAN SHANNON HAD INTENDED TO SPEND BUT AFTER SPENDING SEVERAL HOURS LOOKING, SHANNON’S AND SHAWN’S EYES ALWAYS RETURNED TO THIS LITTLE BUCK OUT OF I’M SMOKIN AND A WHOOPIN UP CASH *ENNOBLED* DAUGHTER. RELUCTANTLY SHANNON WHIPPED OUT THE GREEN STUFF AND “THE DARK HEADED DESPARADO” HAD A NEW HOME. THE NEXT WEEK SHANNON AND SHAWN WERE BACK WITH A DOE EACH TO BREED TO I’M SMOKIN. ON THEIR FIRST VISIT, SHAWN FELL IN LOVE WITH A LITTLE DOE CALLED LASTING SMOKE OUT OF I’M SMOKIN AND A WHOOPIN UP CASH *ENNOBLED* DAUGHTER. THE PRICE WAS $900.00. HE WENT HOME WITHOUT HER THE FIRST TIME BUT HE WAS HOOKED. HE BROUGHT HIS SON, CLAY, WITH HIM ON HIS RETURN VISIT AND LASTING SMOKE WENT TO LIVE IN LINDSEY, OK.

SHOW QUALITY
“WHAT IS SHOW QUALITY” IS A QUESTION WE ARE OFTEN ASK. THIS IS A LEGITIMENT QUESTION JUDGING BY SOME OF THE GOATS THAT WE SEE ADVERTISED AS SHOW QUALITY. SO WHAT IS “SHOW QUALITY”? GENERALLLY SPEAKING, SHOW QUALITY SIMPLY MEANS THAT A N ANIMAL DOES NOT HAVE A CULL FACTOR AS SET FORTH IN THE ABGA BREED STANDARDS. SHOW QUALITY DOES NOT MEAN THAT AN ANIMAL WILL BE A SHOW WINNER. THERE ARE MANY REASONS AN ANIMAL MAY NOT WIN IN THE SHOW RING. YOU NEED TO REMEMBER, EVERYONE HAS GOOD ANIMALS AND EVERYONE CAN’T WIN. ANOTHER FACTOR THAT YOU MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER IS SHOWMANSHIP. HAVE YOU WORKED WITH, GROOMED, AND PRESENTED YOUR ANIMAL BEFORE THE JUDGE IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT IMMEDIATELY CATCHES HIS OR HER EYE? FINALLY YOU MUST REMEMBER THAT BEING A JUDGE IS NOT AN EASY TASK. WHEN THE JUDGES HAVE FINISHED THEIR JOB, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE MORE UNHAPPY CONTESTANTS THAN THERE ARE HAPPY ONES.
